The Great Ancient Wizard, Brings in the Gods. (3)
It was indeed a vast waterfall, in a deep valley so hidden that even the Gods who looked down at the world couldn’t see it well. A river that flowed endlessly throughout the years. It repeatedly dropped, making deep holes in the ground. The water gathered in it constantly accumulated energy, then overflowed towards another place. It was a repository of natural energy that was constantly flowing, constantly accumulating, and constantly flowing again.
“Wow, such a huge waterfall
”
Mirole, a child of Mother Nature, opened her mouth and admired the waterfall. It was pretty significant, although it was admittedly a little narrow, and it was incomparable to the waterfalls of the earth where Yeo Ban-Min had lived in the past. Moreover, it was also the source of the thick magic water, so the amount of magic in the air proved to be no joke.
“That puddle, how did such a huge energy come together in this small place
”
What about the deep puddles underneath it? All those years of gathering magic condensed into crystals on the surface of the check, fluttering and twinkling. It was a fantastic scene as if the fairies were dancing in groups, but if you recognized how big the magic was, you couldn’t help but get goosebumps. It wouldn’t be strange even if someone said that there were dragon bodies buried in groups in this place.
“The place where dragons gathered and fought in ancient times turned into a huge waterfall.”
“I can’t believe dragons were involved
”
[I understand it now. Without that much energy, it would have been impossible to have so much abnormal energy concentrated.]
It was a mass of water.
“But how come the dragons didn’t occupy this place?”
“The same reason why the dragons haven’t invaded the World Tree.”
Evan briefly explained to Mirole, who was tilting her head.
“It’s a treasure that’s in big trouble if someone takes it first, so they were watching each other so that no one could take it for themselves.”
“I can’t believe Mother was being treated like that!”
“But in fact, this war is all about that.”
The energy of the World Water was incomparable. It also had the symbolism that those who took World Water could become the true rulers of Middle Earth. How could the proud dragons not be wary of this? It was until the beginning of the main episode of Yo-Ma Great War Zero that they were wary of each other because they desperately wanted it themselves more than anyone else, but they were also sure to have the same thoughts.
“This mass of water is not as good as the World Water, but it still has a lot of energy. The difference is that this is a secret shared only by the dragons.”
“Zero knew it, though.”
“That’s not a new point. The Master knows everything.”
[That’s a fact, of course. I suppose.]
Instead of Evan, Maybell answered with a snort, so Evan’s excuse disappeared.
[But I’m telling you, there’s no better place to be more excited than here. I understand that no one has ever found it. In addition to being a cover-up, naturally, the dragons even cast a group of hidden spells.]
“The Dragons could do anything if they weren’t connected to you.”
“Originally, dragons would be the best in the world if they weren’t so arrogant.”
In the game, it was necessary to eradicate the dragons first to get here. So, if they didn’t eradicate the dragons, the gods couldn’t come down? That wasn’t it. Sooner or later, the dragons would have been fighting the Demon Tribes or the apostles, so even if they didn’t engage in the final battle with the Ancient Great Wizard, they would fight and die to apostles preparing for the descent of gods.
Of course, due to the ceremony of the gods’ summons in the dragon camp immediately after that, the player didn’t acquire much of the dragon materials and wouldn’t get his weapon in the dragon camp, which made the game quite intense.
“Let’s get started, shall we?”
Eihamo, the blacksmith, didn’t accompany him because it is an overly dangerous place. But the work was done perfectly, and all that remained was pulling the trigger. The ceremony itself was simple, so he was going to finish it quickly.
“Look at it. It’ll be the last time the mass of water will emit light like this.”
“Are you enjoying yourself, Master?”
Evan slowly floated his body using the power of Annihilation. Then, he settled in the center of the mass of water, where the waterfall fell and stopped. By increasing the power of Annihilation, the blade of Annihilation extended over his hand.
“Wouldn’t it be the strongest sword that you’ve ever had if you just sharpen that blade?”
Leo, who was watching the scene in a daze, became quiet after receiving the attention of others. Evan picked up a dagger and boldly bumped it against the blade of Annihilation. The two blades, which were thought to result in a violent collision, slowly began to merge. His entire body’s Annihilation was concentrated on the blade.
“The waterfall
!”
“Wow, wow
!?”
The mass of water reacted to it. It was shocking that the waterfall, which was constantly pouring down, started to flow back. It wasn’t just that. The mass of water, which had been accumulating magic for a long time, was soaring in a whirlwind shape surrounded by light crystals.
[Ah, the special magic to bring down the gods
]
“A story that’s already been told.”
Fayna insisted more than anyone else on strengthening Evan’s power than bringing down the gods.
“Ha!”
Then Evan gave a short shout. The trigger, which was slowly melting down as if playing in slow motion, was instantly absorbed by the blade of Annihilation. The moment when the power of matter and soul became incompletely united

However, the real thing was just beginning.
“Ah
?”
“It stopped, uh
”
Backflowing waterfalls, the whirlwind of freshwater stopped in the air. Even the Magic torrent halted! However, it was only for a moment, and soon the decisions were raging and gathered against Evan. The blade of the Annihilation, which used to be dark-purple, faded, and at some point, it turned colorless and transparent.
-Pattt!
It was utterly invisible to the human eye as it shattered with the sound of a window breaking. The crystals siphoned off the magic of the waterfall and gave off a translucent blue again, and Mirole, whose mouth was wide open at the mysterious sight, was appalled by what soon followed.
“Hmph!”
“Zero!?”
Scraps of destructive power filled with magic penetrated Evan’s body with a gruesome sound! Evan was biting his teeth as if he were enduring great pain. This didn’t happen when her armor was completed. Mirole tried to run to him out of shock, but Maybell stopped her.
“It’s probably because it’s a huge force. We’ll see.”
“Will he be all right? 
And that sounds like I’m weak, so I’m a little uneasy.”
“Compared to Master, who isn’t weaker?”
This was the materialization of the soul, unique armament. It was the ability that could implement weapons beyond mere matter, using materials that could be absorbed into the soul as triggers. Evan first brought out the power of the soul he dealt with and matched it with the trigger, bringing in external strength and blessings to train his arm on the spot. And it was the final acceptance of an in-vitro-trained armament into one’s own body to complete it.
‘I’ve heard all this from Eihamo.’
Evan had a rough idea, but it was pretty different from when the Ancient Great Wizard was making his armor in the game. Evan gritted his teeth and concentrated in formidable pain. It was amazing that he felt like the Annihilation was trying to kill him, even though he always treated it like his own.
However, that would be an illusion; this power belonged entirely to Evan. It was just a process of creating a new form of his power. The process of quenching and hammering. So, it just felt a little painful.
‘Let’s finish it in a heartbeat
!’
Evan threw the virtual hammer hard with his eyes wide open. Red bloodshot up from his whole body. All the fragments were absorbed into his body at once, concentrating in his heart as they ran through his blood vessels. Evan thought for a moment that his heart had burst.
“Cough
”
But it wasn’t so. It was just that the power concentrated in the heart spread throughout the body with an explosive momentum. Then it calmed down as if nothing had happened from the beginning. But Evan could see that everything had changed. If the dungeon gods had been here, they would have made a noise that he had evolved into Annihilation 3 or something.
Evan, who had come to his senses, blinked and looked around. There was the minor problem that his clothes were tattered and dyed red, but everything else was fine.
“Master!”
Recognizing that it was all over, Maybell spread her bat wings and flew into him. But Evan stopped her from approaching.
“I’m messy because of the blood.”
“Huh? Wasn’t that part of the ritual?”
“Huh?”
Evan heard it and looked at his body once again. Then he could see what she meant. His clothes were dyed red because of his blood bursting, but that was the exact expression. There was a light red on the armor around his whole body that absorbed the blood that burst out. It was no exception to his boots, gloves, or even the circlet on his forehead.
“Oh, it’s
yes, I see.”
“What is it, Master? Why are you the only one who understands?”
When Maybell asked sullenly, Evan smiled back.
“I think I know the structure of my armament.”
“Is that what you’re saying now?”
“That’s not that. Of course, I’ve grown more than before.”
“So, your Artifact is strengthened!”
“Well, that’s one way to understand it.”
To master the special moves (Chunsang-yong), you first learned the essential skill (Koodu-ryong) to learn the special moves and became more robust. By creating Evan’s armament, he was able to strengthen all of himself naturally. Not only his body but also the artifacts he was wearing. Conversely, to deal with his unique armament, he needed not only this strengthened body but also these artifacts that were strengthened by spraying his blood.
‘All right, I got the hang of it.’
Evan smiled satisfactorily and finished his strength. The waterfall stopped flowing backward and began to flow correctly again as the mass of water calmed down. But compared to when they first arrived, there was no light.
[Bad news and even worse news, Zero. What would you like to hear first?]
Fayna suddenly threw such words at Evan, who returned to the party.
“Let’s hear the worse news first.”
[Maybe this place is in a state of a complete decline. The power as a conduit remains, but there is a lack of absolute power to attract the gods. Because your unique armament absorbed too much magic.]
“Oh, that’s terrible news
”
However, he already thought that this could happen. At the same time, he was feeling a sense of crisis towards the Devil enough to prioritize his armor even at the expense of it

“So, what’s the bad news?”
[The energy you’ve just sprung from creating your armor is too intense. I even thought it would kill you; your power destroyed our barrier
maybe the Demon forces have detected his location. And maybe the Devil, too.]
That sounded like pretty bad news, too!
